gengwall,

I might add that even if Eve’s “desire” is toward her husband, which in turn means her desire is turning away from God, that “desire” is inherently sinful. Are you really trying to claim that Eve’s “desire”, whether toward or against Adam, is a virtue?

I can tell that you are really thinking this one through. Good for you!

It has been claimed by some that turning toward her husband means turning away from God. In fact that seemed logical to me for a long time, but is this what the text says? Which part of the text mentions God? Which part of the text adds on that Eve would turn away from God? Is it possible that we have added this thought to what the actual text says? Or if the text really does say this, where does it say it?

Thoughts?
